Favicons refer to icons that appear beside the name of a site. They are usually in the favorites or bookmarks list. The Favicon ico images usually appear in a variety of sizes. They are commonly used in Windows operating systems to show images for various menu options and computer programs. Their popularity has increased because there are more sites that have started to display them. Unlike other formats, the ICO formats allow you to store several images in different color depths and sizes. This allows you to view programs in larger or smaller sizes even if your computer display has fewer colors. It is also possible to get an animated favicon on your site.

Why Use them?

There are various reasons why you should start using these icons on your computer. These include:

• To declutter your bookmarks list.

• To make your display stand out.

The Size

They can have multiple images that are in different sizes. The options available in terms of size include:

• 16×16

• 32×32

• 48×48

• 128×128

The location you intend to use to display your icon determines its display size. If you want it to be on the display bar, it will usually measure 16×16. Most browsers do this in order to save on space. This size is also common because it is the most suitable one for address input boxes. If the image is being displayed on the desktop, it will usually appear as a 32×32 image because this is the size that is configured for display icons. You can change the size by looking at the menu feature and choosing the icon size option. This means that the program that you use to display the icons will determine the colors and size of the images. To create an image with an appropriate size, you can use a favicon generator.

Generating from Pictures

It is possible to generate the images from pictures. You will get the images in both sizes but most of the programs resize them to 16×16.

Free Sites

There are various sites that allow you to generate the icons at no charge. It usually takes about a second to create an image on your machine. Once you have created one, you can get it to show on the desktop by uploading it to a major directory on the site.

There are many great and unique features to the iPhone. Not only does it display modern technology but it displays the beginning of new technology. There are many great iPhone features but I will only tell you about the best. The iPhone has a great email sending quantity which lets you send up to five pictures through each email. Another great feature is when you are playing your music and someone is calling you, the music player will automatically pause for you to take the call. Then it will automatically resume once you are done with the call.

The iPhone has a great display and sound quality when you are watching YouTube videos. The iPhone is basically a small laptop but it is made to fit your hand, which is very convenient. If you want to change your viewing screen from portrait to landscape, you just turn it 90 degrees and it will automatically change the viewing screen. Now how cool is that. Another iPhone feature that is related to that one is when you are on your music player and want to switch the playing sequence to shuffle, you just shake the iPhone and you will automatically switch to shuffle mode.

Reading has also modernize along with the iPhone features. The iPhone has a great application called iBooks which lets you read books on the iPhone. The iPhone also has another great application called FaceTime Video Calling which allows you to video call with anyone as long as you have WI-FI connectivity. Whenever you do not have your iPhone with you and you fear that you might have some missed calls, the iPhone will display it on its screen when you go to unlock it.

But it only gets better lets say if you give your children a iPhone for Christmas and want to put parental controls on it, you can easily do that by putting a pass code on what you restrict on the iPhone.

While there are many prescription drugs available some say the natural remedies are the best and natural menopause relief is no different. The choice is really up to the woman how they want to deal with menopause, do nothing or do something. I would suggest doing something about it. There are various herbal remedies that help women get through the “dark days” of menopause. Even if one was inclined a women could use acupuncture and yoga. Yoga may not be fall all but is very popular and you could do it in your own home with a floor mat.

Hot flashes may be the worse problem for women who have menopause. The most simple thing possible to help treat hot flashes is deep breathing. Slow breaths can reduce the severity of the hot flashes which leads the women to feel more comfortable. Some women have found that drinking hot tea. You wouldn’t think hot tea would help a hot flash but it does, take my word for it. One cup is good but three cups a day should keep those hot flashes to a minimum.

Other natural menopause relief treatments are dietary changes, limit alcohol consumption, and exercise. If your are not making any progress with these natural remedies then it’s time to speak with your doctor for more effective solutions. While you don’t have an option living with menopause you can try to help you decrease the side effects of it. Natural menopause relief treatments should help you get pass the worst parts of menopause.

A local newspaper is a news publication having news articles and advertisements from the viewpoint catering to a local area. These are printed at one place and different distribution sources are used to distribute them over a relatively wide surrounding area. It contains news not only from the local area but from around the globe. The news is however presents from the local area’s point of view. However, one must understand that other than local, only global and important news are covered in a local newspaper and it is impossible to publish all the news available from all parts of the world.

Generally, poor quality paper is used in newspaper publication and in accordance to one estimate there are around 7000 daily newspaper publications around the globe, each having its own point of view on an event and they send out around 400 million copies in a day.

Looking at the numbers, one can easily conclude that by reading his local newspaper only, one is reaching to a conclusion by simply going through the point of view of just one publication. Also, he is surely not getting all the information or news of all events happening in the world but only a small part of it through the local newspaper.

Apart from the newspaper, other news media have also taken over the world by storm. Newspaper still make up for a majority of news media but others are catching up really fast. Television and radio are other two popular news media. However there are only a few news channels that truly cater to the entire globe.

Online news is another media that has started to attract a number of people from around the globe. One can easily visit the website and can go through the news. These are updated on a regular basis and their popularity is surely on a rise.

However, these are all based on the point of view of people they locally cater to. One reaches to a conclusion just by going through one point of view. Also, an important point to understand here is that one cannot go on spending money and wasting time and paper in buying different news publications in order to understand their point of view and reach to a conclusion.

Wouldn’t it be really wonderful if one can go to a newspaper directory having categories as per different areas of the world, further subdivided into countries and going up to local areas? The directory would contain newspapers, online news portals and magazines categorized in accordance to the area where they cater to. One can simply go to the directory and read different news published around the globe and reach to a conclusion after understanding their point of view on an event.

Easynewspapers.com is one such website which contains links to all the newspapers, local to national to those present around the globe. One simply needs to click some links and can easily view the news from a number of different sources with different perspectives than his local newspaper.

A swimming workout can be a new and refreshing way to get or stay in shape. Swimming is a full body aerobic sport that tones muscles, improves strength and flexibility, increases circulation, controls weight and enhances body contours.

Swimming workouts give you a low impact activity that can easily be tailored to match your abilities. A good way to gain cardiovascular stamina is to exercise in a swimming pool.

The secret to a good swimming exercise program is to work with the water. To accomplish this, propel yourself through the water by using your abs, hips and shoulders.

To understand why water exercise works so well, you need to know about water’s unique properties. In water, your body has almost no gravity. You’re relieved of 90% of your body weight so you become very buoyant.

You can float, bob and relax without feeling like you’re putting out any effort. Yet water provides 12 to 14 percent more resistance than air, so as you move through it, it’s like having weights around you.

Swimming laps is great exercise in a swimming pool. Try different strokes to vary the muscles you work to keep your workout balanced.

Going vertical or upright is another very effective exercise in water. These types of water workouts include water walking, jogging, water aerobics, water toning, water therapy, water yoga and water flexibility training.

You can strengthen your muscles with these vertical water workouts because you experience 75% greater resistance than swimming horizontally. This vertical position maximizes the resistance of water against your movements.

Water based activities can provide significant benefits for older adults too. In addition to increasing metabolism, physical activity can improve cardiovascular health and increase strength, not to mention the psychological and social benefits as well.

Joining an aquatics class or just sharing a swimming workout with a friend can help you feel better about yourself. You can be more socially active, engage in community activities and tend to not lose your independence because you are more physically fit.

The bottom line is to choose activities that you enjoy and will stick with. It is never too late to introduce physical activity into your life. Swimming workouts can provide a healthy and enjoyable way to get back the fun you use to have as a child.

It creeped up on you before you knew what happened. Maybe you were downsized and left with the decision to seek new employment or retire.

Perhaps you sought to remain in the workforce for a few more years, only to find out that the marketplace really changed for 50+ year olds. As a matter of fact, the good jobs for your age group, were gone.

How many of us Baby Boomers have experienced this or something similar? The realization of aging suddenly kicks in and it sucks!

What about the current lifestyle that we have become accustomed to? Are we going to have to cut back?

If we have a spouse in the workforce, what happens if the same thing happens to them? Don’t even want to think about that.

All of a sudden, the fear starts to set in and the scarcity mentality is in full gear. The house needs repairs and both cars are aging… How are we going to keep up?

Let’s put a stop to all of this right here and now. There is a course of action that will alleviate all of this. What is it?

What say we tap into the power of the internet and start our own online business. The entry fees are very low and the potential is unlimited.

There are no age barriers on the net. There will be no bosses on the web. We are in charge to build our business the way we would have it.

Probably, the first objection would be: “I know nothing on the tech side of things.” Fair concern. Problem solved with what I have in mind!

Second objection would probably go like this: “I have no clue as to what to do to earn money on the internet.” There is a training platform that will take care of that. Thousands are reaping the benefits and making money.

Third objection might be: “How do I know I can trust what you are saying?” That’s easy… Everything is wide open and transparent, as to what I am telling you.

You might be saying something like: “This sounds like an alternative to what I am facing in the job market. What do I need to do to check this out?”

Head on over to my site and see what is going on here. I think you will be pleased at what you see and it won’t cost you anything. Use the resource below and I’ll see you over there!

You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have The Hangover Part II, a movie that takes everything clever and amusing about its first part and turns it into something of a retread. We’ve seen it all before, and we certainly know the story: a few friends get way too drunk, wake up with no memory of anything that happened, and have to go on a fact-finding mission to recover the pieces of the night before. The film falls into the trap of its formula and can’t seem to get out. It worked in the first one because there’s no reason that any of that stuff should have happened – it wasn’t in the nature of those characters – but now it is in their nature, we’re taught to expect it, and there’s no reason it should have happened. Again. Maybe that’s funny to some people, but it belies the originality of the characters, characters I grew to love in the first film.

The Hangover was a character study, if you think about it. Yeah, it was a buddy movie, and a road movie, and a raunchy, R-rated comedy about a night of heavy drinking, but, at the risk of spoiling the joke, it was also about four guys with severe personality disorders learning about themselves. Given that, the film was interesting, and not just funny. It was a character-driven comedy, with dialogue carefully designed for the moment. Comedies are funniest when the situations are organic. The Hangover took that idea and flipped it on its head, making the punchlines the joke and the jokes the punchline, telling the entire film backwards, and placing our characters in situations that weren’t organic, but became organic because of another unknown situation that they had already been through. Part II does the same thing, but it’s expected, so the punchline that was the joke the first time around is now the punchline, but the situations they didn’t know about while they were drunk are still the punchline. It’s all about the payoff, but when there isn’t any buildup, how can we get the joke? Because we’ve heard it before? “Why the long face?” isn’t funny unless the horse walks into the bar.

When our film opens, Stu (Ed Helms) is marrying the gorgeous Lauren (Jamie Chung). Her father (Nirut Sirichanya) disapproves, probably because he saw The Hangover, but the plans go along anyway. Doug (Justin Bartha) and Phil (Bradley Cooper) are getting ready to go to Thailand for the wedding, and want to give Stu a bachelor party. Knowing that didn’t work too well last time, Stu instead opts for a “Bachelor Brunch” at IHOP. Not good enough. And as soon as Alan (Zack Galifianakis) is invited, it should be obvious to everyone involved that this isn’t going to end well. Of course, Alan was responsible for the mess in the first film, but he also saved the day, so, against Stu’s better judgment, he invites him to the wedding. They’re also given the task of looking after the bride’s little brother, kid genius Teddy (Mason Lee). They all go have a beer, and wake up hours later in a shady hostel room, with Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), without Doug and, more importantly, with only Teddy’s finger, in the deep heart of seedy Bangkok.

Each character in the film is reduced to a simple version of the better characters they were in 2009. Doug is reduced to the conscience at the other end of the phone (remember Dwight Yoakam in Crank? It’s like that), and Mr. Chow is a sillier version of the effeminate gangster he used to be. He’s also pretty good friends with Alan. Phil is the only character treated with the same care as he was in the first film; he’s never been the better fourth of any of the group, but he’s a genuinely good man, and his parental care for Alan is still intact. Bradley Cooper does an excellent job in these films. I remember, in the first film, enjoying the child-like, clueless nature of Alan, and the way Zack G. played him as such. He never made fun of the character, and played it with as much conviction as Johnny Depp does Jack Sparrow, but here, the character isn’t charming anymore, and he’s a bit malicious; he’s no longer a silly man-child, just manic and unlikable. Stu, apparently, was given the proper amount of self-confidence by the end of the first film to pull any woman he wants, so he gets the picture-perfect Lauren, only to succumb to the same mess he did in the first film, almost to the letter. Instead of a good man in a bad situation, Stu just becomes a badly composed version of himself.

The HangoverPart II is well directed, just poorly written. Even the best-looking buildings can be poorly constructed. The absurdity and likability of the characters, most of them anyway, is compromised solely for eliciting laughs, and the situations aren’t unique or amusing anymore. It’s always sad watching a film you love become a bastardized version of itself for a paycheck. Of course, there’s always the caveat – The Hangover made me love these characters, and that was a character piece. I still do love the characters, and still do care about them, and I will see a third one, if it’s made, which it almost assuredly will be. I only hope that someone does something about Part II‘s horrendous screenplay. They need to return the characters back to their roots. Maybe Phil gets divorced, and the boys try to cheer him up? I’d see that. I heard rumors of a Mr. Chow spin-off, but I don’t see that working too well. Maybe it’s the way they left his character in this film, but I think that would just be a waste of time. Or, of course, Alan could get married. That’s a comedy in and of itself.

The Georgia Lottery has become one of the most popular state lotteries in the US, earning an average of over $1 billion annually, of which one-third goes to enhance state education funding. The Georgia Lottery is operated by the Georgia Lottery Corporation, created through the Lottery for Education Act in November 1992. From the beginning the Georgia Lottery was a big success, exceeding its first year sales goal of $463 million in just five months and ending 1993 with $1.1 billion in total sales, which made it the most successful state lottery start-up in history.

The Georgia Lottery runs a number of games, including Cash 3, Cash 4, Georgia 5, Fantasy 5, Keno and Georgia Lottery Win for Life. In Cash 3, you pick three numbers from one to zero per game and can play $0.50 or $1.00 per game; you then pick from a number of play types ranging from straight (you win if you pick the exact number combination drawn) to pairs (in which you win if you get the first or last two winning numbers in exact order your combination). Cash 4 works in a similar fashion but you pick a four-number combination. Both games are drawn twice daily, in the afternoon and the evening.

The Georgia 5 is another game with twice-a-day drawings. You pick five numbers on the play area of the playslip and you win the jackpot of $10,000 if your number matches the drawn numbers in exact order. If you don’t match five numbers but match four up to one numbers in exact order and position, you can win consolation prizes ranging from $225 to $1. Each game is $1 per play and you can play up to five games in each playslip. You can also play the same numbers for up to seven consecutive draws.

In the Fantasy 5 game, you pick 5 out of 39 numbers on the play area of the playslip. You win the top prize if you successfully match all five numbers with winning number combination; you can also win minor cash prizes if you match four or three numbers. If you match two, you get a free Fantasy 5 Quik Pik ticket (the computer picks the numbers). Each game is $1; for an additional $1 you can choose the eZmatch play option, in which you instantly win a cash prize if your numbers match any of the eZmatch numbers; you can win up to five times on each ticket.

The Georgia Lottery Win for Life game offers a unique payoff for winners of the top prize: $1,000 a week for the rest of the winner’s life. All you have to do is select six numbers from 1 to 42 from the play area of the playslip; each playslip allows you to play up to five times, with each game costing $1. The lottery draws six numbers plus a seventh “Free Ball” number. To win the top prize, all you have to do is match all six numbers. If your combination matches five numbers plus the Free Ball number, you win $1,000 a week for a year. You can win consolation prizes if you get five to three numbers, with the cash prizes increasing if the Free Ball is part of your winning combination.
